Abstract

See full text

An optical coupler for coupling light between an optical fiber core and an electrooptic transducer includes a pin and channel arrangement associated with a mechanism for opening and closing the coupler. At one position the pin engages an end of the channel whereat the coupler is open and safe insertion or removal of the fiber from the coupler is possible. At a second position, the pin engages another end of the channel and an optical fiber previously inserted into the coupler when in its open position is securely locked in the optical coupler.
